My best friend at school was a boy called Simon Doughty. We went to primary and secondary school together, always in the same class. We lived in the same street and played together out of school. My father died when I was ten years old and my mother never remarried so, I suppose, Simon's father became a sort of father figure for me. He was a long- distance l...
Tuscany is everything you hoped it would be. Rolling Mediterranean hills lined with cypress trees, acres and acres of vineyards, delightful architecture and arts, marketplaces that are a feast for the senses, cuisine to die for, and sunny, cool weather that is as yummy to your skin as the food is to your tongue. You remind yourself again that Charles, your b...
My wife, Abby, and I enjoy camping in the mountains. We go regularly and really enjoy roughing it. Where we go is not a designated campground but located in a state forest with campsites spread far apart providing plenty of privacy and solitude. It's the kind of camping where you bathe in the creek and the bathroom is behind a nearby tree and you never have...
This will be the final chapter to The Office Party, for some of you, I know you'll be glad to finally see the ending. For those of you who don't enjoy my work then go read something else, better yet, why don't you try creating something and post it instead of criticizing others. Easy to criticize, hard to create. RETRIBUTION Veronica sat there for a secon...
Just a quick flash story for fun. The plot is contrived and silly, perhaps even slightly cartoonish, but then again this is escapist fun not serious literature. I had the idea for the plot and the words describing it are more to get the concept out than an attempt at valid prose. In other words, I know my writing isn't up to par, my dialogue often idiotic,...
Jamaican men and Jamaican women are super opposed to bisexuality, gayness, lesbianism, and anything that's not rigidly straight. If you're gay, bisexual or lesbian, the island of Jamaica is definitely not the place for you. Whoever believes this pile of crock has obviously never met Sandrine Johnson, the Jamaican-born Canadian dominatrix who is making waves...
I had a few days vacation saved up, so when the Monsoons hit India and disrupted shipping, I got to take a break from my job inspecting skeletons that are shipped in from there. I couldn't think of a better way to take a break than spending five days with Rick, my boyfriend. He had a lot going on that week, but he still wanted me to come up, so I did. I kne...
It was a warm Thursday morning, the kind where you wouldn't break a sweat walking outside but you would need to air your car a bit before getting in or be sure to not forget a piece of candy in your pocket (I always carried something to give me a sugar rush if I needed it). I left our apartment around 7:00 in the morning as was normal and went to work at Sta...
After managing to calm down the two women and keep them from coming to blows, Krista had them both sit down on the fleshy floor, a good distance away from each other and with her in between. Since they seemed like they were total opposites of each other, with one being a strong, military woman who finds honor in serving her planet and actively hated being th...
The light on my office phone began to blink, indicating an incoming call, and when I picked up the receiver, my former college roommate Ron was on the other end. We had not talked in years, so it was a pleasant surprise to hear from him again. He was in town for a few days on business, did I want to meet someplace for a drink, and to catch up? I was happy to...
